The loss mother, Tin Ho, blames the nursing staff for placing her daughter in the wrong type of bed. The grieving woman says Melissa’s death was preventable if not the nurse’s neglect.

We hope this will ensure, unlike our Melissa, no other child with a disability will be placed at risk.

An inquest has found a severely disabled girl who accidentally hanged herself at a Sydney respite centre should not have died. Melissa Standen wasn't properly assessed by nursing staff and was placed in the wrong type of bed leading to her death. @laurakatebanks#7Newspic.twitter.com/ARw9HFym4r

Nursing care importance

The necessity of appropriate nursing care for positive patients’ healing is extremely important. Unfortunately, sometimes the medical staff neglects their duties and, in this case, it’s their patients who suffer most.

The quality of nursing care relates to the appropriate background and necessary training intended to optimize patient outcomes and prevent adverse effects.

But of course, knowledge and practice are not the only significant factors in nursing care. No less important is a person’s desire to help patients on their way to recovery. It won’t come from anywhere – whether you enjoy helping patients or not.
